Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to translate domain and solution architectures into platform requirements and designs.Translation involves the entire solution life cycle through development, deployment, management and optimisation.The brief may be for an existing support system or new infrastructure converging to Next Generation Technologies (NGN).No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop system design requirements
- 1.1. Produce a system requirements specification for a complex project involving enterprise and technology issues using the simplest possible technology and making the system modular
- 1.2. Resolve and negotiate requirement conflicts in order to establish a complete and consistent requirement set
- 1.3. Produce and develop acceptance criteria for requirements
- 1.4. Design a requirements management plan with categorisations, structures and sources of complexity
- 1.5. Develop a process to manage the requirements enabling users to influence future improvements
2. Produce system design based on requirements
- 2.1. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of relevant technologies in the context of the design requirement and needs for systems integration
- 2.2. Create a range of alternative interdisciplinary concepts and assess their attributes
- 2.3. Plan for the incorporation of later life cycle design attributes in developing the design requirements
- 2.4. Devise a system design strategy and approach and use the tools and techniques to conduct functional analysis
- 2.5. Produce a set of parameters to track critical aspects of the design
- 2.6. Use documentation, modelling and simulation tools and techniques to represent a system or system element
- 2.7. Use complex simulations to evaluate design concepts for a system or system element
- 2.8. Produce a report to evaluate and advise on the risks, suitability and limitations of models and simulations
- 2.9. Identify the underlying domain specific issue, strategy and approach to be adopted for ensuring system robustness
- 2.10. Produce a robust design using domain specific strategy and approach to platform requirements and designs
3. Verify solution design and traceability
- 3.1. Determine specific aspects of the design to the original intent
- 3.2. Verify and track specific aspects of the current design back to the original intent throughout the supply chain
- 3.3. Trace verification requirements back to system requirements and vice versa
- 3.4. Use change control and configuration management to implement remedial actions and change control of inconsistencies
RANGE STATEMENT

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
develop system design requirements
evaluate design concepts for system or system element using complex simulations
produce a system design using domain specific strategy to platform requirements and design
use functional analysis tools
use complex simulations
verify solution design and traceability.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
a site where development, deployment, management and optimisation of domain and solution architectures into platform requirements and designs can be undertaken
documentation, modelling and simulation tools currently used in industry
tests and equipment currently used in industry.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of the candidate translating domain and solution architectures into platform requirements and designs
oral and written questioning of the candidate to assess required knowledge of platform requirements and designs
review of the candidate's documented simulation testing and change and improvement recommendations.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTTEN7222A Manage solution architecture and impacts in line with organisational processes.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
